What is a xyron? I haven't started my DIY projects yet, and I have no idea what I am doing!!

@Scarlet, it's a manual tool that you can roll paper through that makes one side sticky!

I'm not sure what tool I'd be lost without....all of them!

Yup, my hot glue gun is my bff when I'm doing projects. But I haven't done one in awhile. I gotta go to Michael's!

My fav was the Corner Chomper. That thing can round corners on the thickest of papers. Amazing.

Mine would be my Quickutz Silhoutte. Its a cutting machine that hooks up to your computer so you can cut any image or font. I used it for all our table numbers and use it all the time for scrapbooking.

My ultimate crafting tool is the internet. Seriously, I am crafting-challenged and buy my crafts!

I agree with Recionistabride, I couldn't live without my round corner paper punch.

I used it on everything. It got rediculous.

My paper cutter and my tape runner (is that what it's called?), makes it so easy to tape things together!
